Hey Folks,

I am thinking about using all the different styles of BBQ I am
aware of to create a log and help decide which I prefer best. These
are the one I am aware of...

1) Southwest BBQ - Just about anything slow cooked over open
fire, adjustable height grilling grate. Frequent basting and
turning.

The kind of southwest style you're referring to is more
rotissere-grilling than bbq.

2) Texas BBQ - Dry rubbed brisket and sausage, mesquite smoked
low and slow (mostly) with out mopping or sauce.

Most Texas joints use pecan or oak, not mesquite.

3) Kansas City BBQ - Spare Ribs and now briskets smoked with a
thick sweet sauce. It isn't BBQ until the sauce is added. Hickory
and Oak wood I think.

There is really no such thing as a KC style. KC is the *******
conglomeration of all styles which originated from other locations.


FYI KC was the intersection of many cattle drive routes and a rancher's
market dating from the early west, and that is where KC barbecue
originated... . in KC.
